Awesome all around return from a very promising Braves prospect. He was drafted in the 4th round last year and had a sensational season in the short-season Appalachian league. He continued to put up great numbers this year with high A Lynchburg which earned him a promotion to AA Mississippi.

He also answered my questions:

Great, fast success from the Mariners prospect. He was drafted last year and had a breakout season with short-season Pulaski (.335 avg with 20 SBs) and has had another good year so far with class A Clinton.

8/23 return #10/10 (if you're just checking in on this post now, there are 9 other successes from today posted before it!)

Blake Beavan 2/2 c/o Tacoma Rainers in 45 days

Very surprised to get this back from the Mariners' starting pitcher. I sent it to AAA Tacoma right before he got called up and assumed it wouldn't be forwarded to Seattle, but I'm glad it was! Unfortunately I just re-sent to him like 2 days ago, so I'm glad to trade if I get duplicates of these 2011 and 2012 cards.

HUUUGE success from the 4th overall pick this year and a top pitching prospect. He is known for his antics and superstitions (he eats powdered donuts in between innings) and seems like a great guy. He should be right next to Dylan Bundy at the top of the Orioles rotation for years to come.

He also signed and personalized the back of my LOR:

Gotta love personalization, an inscription, and Gypsy Queen! Very nice return from the Red Sox reliever who struggled mightily at the start of the season and was sent down, but has been much better since being called up again.

Last but not least, and awesome return from the A's pitcher who came over in the Gio Gonzalez trade. He's been a horse in his first full season, chewing up innings and earning 10 W's. If you look closely, you'll notice that he wrote #46 on the Nats rookie card (his jersey number with the Nats) and 57 on the A's card (you guessed it, his number with the A's). I think that's pretty cool.

I really like the Melancon. It's really nice when the personalize or inscribe something.

Thanks, I agree!

6 more returns today, I'm now on a 14 day streak. I wanted to let you guys know that I've decided to stop posting the Q&A. I have started to personalize most of the questions and I don't really feel right posting the players' answers online for all to see. I will keep posting the cards of course

Big one here... Here's your clue- he's a Washington National hitter, first name Bryce and last name six letters long....

Bryce Ortega 1/1 c/o Hasgerstown Suns in 12 days!!!

I hope I didn't give it away with the clues This Bryce is also very talented. He burst on to the scene last year with the Auburn Doubledays and has continued to put up good numbers with class A Hagerstown.

Awesome return from a really promising player. Even though he re-wrote the record books with a 54 game hit streak in college, he was drafted in just the 32nd round and is proving to have been an absolute steal. He hit .347 last year in the Appalachian League, then hit .322 with class A Lansing, and now is hitting .310 with high A Dunedin. He also has 49 SBs this year.

Always nice to get another 2012 Topps base RC and an A from across the Bay!! I hope he gets well soon as he's been on the DL since the start of June, but at least he's using the time to sign for his fans!!

If you're just seeing this post now, the other 5 returns from 8/25 are posted before!

Ryan Roberts 2/2 c/o Rays in 19 days

I kind of took a risk with this one but I'm so glad it paid off!! Another '12 Gypsy Queen, I guess I'm more or less going for the set at this point. I am having a much easier time rooting for "Tat-man" now that he's out of the NL West (Giants!). I love the way these came out.
